Really Amazing Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro increases our productivity, allowing people to collaborate in real time. Besides this, we use it a lot with our customers in several sessions and workshops. It really gives us a competitive difference!
What do you dislike about the product?
I have only two improve points:
1. When you have more than ten users using the board at the same time and with several objects, the board starts to sync all the time
2. When you lock a group of several objects, you can not unlock them one by one. This option could be helpful when you have templates and you have to make minimum changes.

Transformed the way I collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a beautiful, intuitive tool that allows us to collaborate and brainstorm virtually in a way that we couldn't before. We use it even when we meet in-person now. It goes beyond collaboration as well - I use it to build out proposals, presentations, and project plans. It allows me to visualize my work, which I just wasn't doing before when I relied on Word documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
As intuitive as Miro is, it does have a bit of a learning curve. You always have to teach clients how to use it before you can really jump into the work. There is still way more that I have to learn about this app as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has given me the ability to visualize my thoughts and ideas and to more effectively brainstorm and get input from other team members in a safe and honest way.
Collaborating on a process flow design couldn't be easier
What do you like best about the product?
The interface itself is excellent. Being able to zoom in and out of different parts of a board works fantastic. The ability to see in real-time what others are doing and where they're working is a massive plus for collaborating remotely.
What do you dislike about the product?
Search functionality can be a bit overwhelming when your board gets to a certain complexity level, and your search results are all over the place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The logical step forward from a simple video call, is real-time collaboration, which Miro does very well. Instead of going back and forth on flow designs, just setup a time to collaborate in real-time and get it done!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you understand licensing pricing.
Makes Remote Collaboration Easy & Fun
What do you like best about the product?
To pull everyone's attention/viewport to the presenter's view is a giant lifesaver to make remote sessions easier to facilitate. The voting add-on and the music inside the timer make everything lighter when sessions can be energy-draining and intense. The wireframe tools helped my team collaborate with non-design stakeholders bringing everyone's ideas to the table easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for new users can be challenging, especially for those who don't use online collaboration tools often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Facilitate Design Sprints, Create all types of canvas for team collaboration, bring together different teams to work together remotely. Unify stakeholder's visions and business rules for particular projects like an Online Checkout for University, Work Sessions to Optimize UI Components of a Design System for Telecom company, Service Blueprints, Customer Journeys, User Flows, and User Experience Mapping in general.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always consider some time to learn and teach essential Miro functions to everyone that will be using it, especially if you are planning on facilitating collaborative sessions with stakeholders.
Really like the tool, started to using it for so many different things
What do you like best about the product?
It's fun. At the start of March 2020 i knew Miro existed, alongside some other tools like it. When Covid-19 hit I, as so many, had to change my work-modes. After trying out different Tools and Apps like Miro, Miro sticked. It's fun, it's simple, it's easy to teach others how to use it. I am using it for Workshops with clients, as well as for my lectures at universites. One sideeffect is, that I stopped using any presentation software. It isn't necessary any more. And I appreciate the new features, that are added constantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's unstable, but usually fixed quite fast. I had one situation where Miro wasn't starting and clients couldn't join the board. That was not specifically wonderful, but something one has to keep in mind when using digital tools - I used that for some teaching. ;) At another time the sorting of the frames didn't work. That gave me some headache, cause I had to sort the pics in the exported PDF. But that was fixed soon after and the next day it worked again. So not many complaints from my side. :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Interaction within workshops and teaching: Miro supports me in my usual teaching style, i.e., interacting a lot, creating different settings for learners, and staying flexible. Another aspect is that it supports modular planning and design: My preparation changed a lot during the last year. It's more modular and spontaneous, it has to be that way, cause usually, one has less time when working digitaly.
And it's much more fun for the participants. They all like it and say that it is such a nice difference being able to do something instead of staring into a videoconferencing tool.

Great collaboration and digital workspace tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to organize and share personal research work with colleagues by using ready-made templates or forming my own digital workstation.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I paste an image in Miro space, I need to download it afterward to import it in another document (e.g. google slides). It would be easier if I could copy the item from Miro and pasted it directly anywhere else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can form my own workstation instantly without size limitations. Plus I can directly share the work with my team and collaborate over a topic directly on the material.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can transfer much of your research notes on this digital space without limitations, plus you can use many different templates for better set up and organizing your thoughts, notes, and work overall. If you are running a collaborative workshop with people that have not used Miro before, send them the bord invite link earlier so they can familiarize themselves with the tool and have a better engagement.
Practical, easy to use and great for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Love love love the templates! Love how flexible and autonomous it feels to use. Great for organizing and mapping out thoughts and ideas. Absolutely love how easy it is to crop an imported image and resize. I also love how easy it is to collaborate using Miro. It's very helpful for remote working and team bonding. I think Miro does a phenomenal job at making their product easy to use and very practical, while maintaining user autonomy. I really appreciate the version control features and change log.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't much I dislike, but if I'm extra critical, it would be that there's no option to flip the menu navigation. So when I use Miro on my iPad, being left-handed, the menu nav is on my left side instead of right. It would be nice to have the option for left-handed folks so my experience is more seamless. Also there is a lot going on in the menu navigation and I feel the options could be reduced to reduced overwhelm.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving and simplifying complex problems. So being able to dump all my thoughts somewhere and organize them on a Miro board has been a game changer. Having the ability to import images to create mood boards quickly is another great benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is an absolute game changer. They also provide an extensive library of templates for different diagrams and boards to use to organize your information. Highly recommend it.
Best Brainstorming Program for remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
I was introduced to this program as an instructional designer looking for an online collaboration space to do needs assessment with my subject matter experts. Generally we do this in person with sticky notes on the wall and move everything around. My SMEs are not really fans of technology, and so selling them on an online collaboration space wasn't the easiest sell. But, now they're all about using Miro. We use it for: curriculum design (overall), individual program development (mind mapping), program retrospectives (agile). It's a wonderful way for us to work together.
What do you dislike about the product?
So, if I were in house at one company, Miro is perfect.
However, as an independent consultant, Mural has a few features that Miro doesn't like consultant licenses, to help keep the data separated, online timers, and anonymous mode. I think it might be a better option to use Mural for people who ave mutliple clients OR who facilitate a lot of VILT.

Agile ceremony notes
I'd previously done this in files like word and then shared to Dropbox or Google docs. Miro is easier to see immediately who is working on what and doesn't have the corruption issues I see with Word/Dropbox.

It helps us to brainstorm on our problems thanks to its large canvas and extensive tools.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the drawing tools, even though they can be improved. It helps us to explain ourselves, like quickly drawing on a piece of paper. However, we would like to see the support for an eraser that can erase a part of a drawing piece, instead of completely removing it on contact.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would like to see a more stable video chat. We want to work on Miro without depending on any other software on our online meetings. However, it almost always forces us to use different virtual meeting software since it frequently disconnects users. Also, it would greatly help if you improved prototyping tools, especially for mobile app development. We tried to use Miro as our primary prototyping tool, but bringing in visual assets is cumbersome. For example, an integration with flaticon.com would be awesome. We also would like to see an option to save text formats for a quick use. Like the three saved pen tips inside pen tool, having an option to save different formatted text input under text tool would be quite helpful. We usually copy/paste the existing texts to use the same format. If we had the option to save the format as a favorite, it would increase our productivity greatly, since we repeatedly use text inside our boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easier to communicate on our work that sometimes requires explaining visually, by writing or drawing. It is a lifesaver through the pandemic since we all work remotely now. We use Miro to discuss on our mobile development. We use it to work on our backend solutions as well as to brainstorm on frontend design.
Miro is changing the way my firm does client engagement
What do you like best about the product?
Miro offers an engaging and interactive way to brainstorm, draw, and discuss ideas in a live virtual environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to collaborate with people on multiple projects when I have a Miro license and they don't. The limit of three boards for a free account is bothersom. I would like there to be a step to allow people to swap boards rather than delete and then accept new boards.
There is also a learning curve that people tend to need to overcome before they engage with the software in depth. I have noviced that people tend to be 'shy' at the beginning of meetings, but by the end they are throwing up sticky notes and drawing arrows all over the place. The Miro experience definitely improves the more you use the software.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows my firm to engage clients visually, and gives us the ability to record our meetings in real-time. It has been fantastic to watch people enjoy adding information to boards and learning to use the software. It is fun to see people learn the software over the course of a single meeting and then advocate for using it in new ways later on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am sorry that I didn't get Miro earlier. It has completely changed the way my team collaborates remotely. Miro allows us to feel more like we are in the same room, around the same sheet of paper, working as a team.
